25th Anniversary Facebook Contest – #LCI25

As part of the firm’s celebratory year, LCI is hosting a Facebook contest, #LCI25, encouraging participants to say in 25 words or less why one of four San Francisco Bay Area nonprofits are worthy of a $2,500 donation. The 4 nonprofits include: On Lok (providing healthcare for seniors, and a current LCI client); ODC (San Francisco’s modern dance company, dance school and theater);Scholar Match (which helps make college possible for underserved youth); and Larkin Street Youth Services (an organization located near LCI which provides a continuum of care to help homeless youth get off the streets). LCI will donate $2,500 to the winning entry’s nonprofit and also donate $250 to the other three nonprofits. This effort underscores LCI’s commitment to its community (the San Francisco Bay Area), and coincides with National Volunteer Month in April.
